Rebuildable utility trailer

Abstract

A trailer includes a first side railing with a first stand and a second stand along with a second side railing with a third stand and a fourth stand. A front railing is removably attached to the first side railing and the second side railing. The method includes joining the front railing to the first side railing and the second side railing, then raising the front railing, the first side railing, and the second side railing with the stands and then removably attaching a wheel assembly to the first side railing and the second side railing.

         2 . The trailer of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a crossbeam removably attached to the first side railing and the second side railing;   wherein the crossbeam is configured to retain the first side railing and the second side railing in a position relatively parallel to each other.   
     
     
         3 . The trailer of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a platform removably attached to the crossbeam.   
     
     
         4 . The trailer of  claim 3 , wherein the platform bifurcates into two sections pivotally joined together via a pivot joint. 
     
     
         5 . The trailer of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a horizontal beam removably attached to the crossbeam and the front railing.   
     
     
         6 . The trailer of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a horizontal beam stabilizer removably attached to the horizontal beam and the front railing.   
     
     
         7 . The trailer of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a flange rigidly attached to the crossbeam and configured to receive the horizontal beam.   
     
     
         8 . The trailer of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a fastener configured to removably attach and secure the front railing to the first sidewall.   
     
     
         9 . The trailer of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first side railing, comprises:
 a top horizontal beam; and 
 a bottom horizontal beam running relatively parallel to the top horizontal beam; and 
   the front railing, comprises:
 an upper horizontal beam; and 
 a lower horizontal beam running relatively parallel to the top horizontal beam. 
   
     
     
         10 . The trailer of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a quick-release device configured to simultaneously join the top horizontal beam to the upper horizontal beam and to join the bottom horizontal beam to the lower horizontal beam.   
     
     
         11 . The trailer of  claim 10 , wherein the quick-release device is a pin configured to pass through a first hole that extend through a thickness of the top horizontal beam and the upper horizontal beam, and to pass through a second hole that extend through a thickness of the bottom horizontal beam and the lower horizontal beam. 
     
     
         12 . The trailer of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a locking mechanism configured to interlock the bottom horizontal beam to the lower horizontal beam.   
     
     
         13 . The trailer of  claim 12 , wherein the locking mechanism is a flange rigidly attached to the bottom horizontal beam and configured to receive the lower horizontal beam. 
     
     
         14 . The trailer of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a hole extending through a thickness of the flange;   a quick-release device configured to pass through the hole and to securely join the bottom horizontal beam to the lower horizontal beam.   
     
     
         15 . The trailer of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 an alignment device configured to align the top horizontal beam relatively perpendicular to the upper horizontal beam.   
     
     
         16 . The trailer of  claim 15 , wherein the alignment device is a rod extending from a top surface of the upper horizontal beam and configured to pass through a hole extending a thickness of the top horizontal beam. 
     
     
         17 . A trailer, comprising:
 a first side railing, having:
 a top horizontal beam; and 
 a bottom horizontal beam running relatively parallel to the top horizontal beam; 
   a front railing, comprises:
 an upper horizontal beam; and 
 a lower horizontal beam running relatively parallel to the top horizontal beam; and 
   a quick-release device configured to simultaneously join the top horizontal beam to the upper horizontal beam and to join the bottom horizontal beam to the lower horizontal beam.   
     
     
         18 . The trailer of  claim 17 , wherein the quick-release device is a pin configured to pass through a first hole that extend through a thickness of the top horizontal beam and the upper horizontal beam, and to pass through a second hole that extend through a thickness of the bottom horizontal beam and the lower horizontal beam. 
     
     
         19 . A method to assembly a trailer, comprising:
 releasably attaching a front railing with a first side railing and a second side railing;   raising the front railing, the first side railing, and the second side railing with a plurality of stands operably associated with the first side railing and the second side railing; and   releasably attaching a wheel assembly to the first side railing and the second side railing.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising:
 joining the front railing to the first side railing with a first quick-release device; and   joining the front railing to the second side railing with a second quick-release device.
